City Corner

I wore this outfit on the fourth day of World MasterCard Fashion Week and shared it on Instagram. I initially didn't want to make it a repeat, but one of my friends asked me to list all the details about this outfit. So here I am- sharing this casual chic look on the blog today.

Since I have to consistently look for spots for photo shoots, I truly get to re-discover the city that I thought I'm already very familiar with. This has to be one of the best parts of being a blogger. One night when I was out for dinner with friends, I got super excited like a little kid who just found some candy when I saw this spot between two restaurants on King Street West. It is just so urban and characteristic yet very private and peaceful.

"This is such an unique spot. I'm definitely coming back for a photo shoot," I told my friend, who is also a fellow blogger. "Oh yea, I'm putting it on my list too," She responded with a big smile.

Okay, let's get to the story of this chunky scarf. I've been on the hunt for a perfect winter scarf for more than two years (trust me, I'm not joking). But either it was way too over my budget or just not quite what I was looking for.

Last week when I was browsing in H&M waiting for Mr. S to show up, I found this scarf hiding in a spot that no one would care to look. The colour combos immediately drew my attention. And after gently feeling it, I literally said "WOW" aloud. It was just so soft. After tired it on, my heart already belonged to it. And the best part? It was on sale for $30 (original price was $69.99). That was truly a Satisfashion moment.

But wait, it only gets better. When I was paying at the cashier, the sales girl talked to her co-worker: "OMG. This scarf is FINALLY gone!" I couldn't help but asking her: "What do you mean?" And then she turned to me and said: "This scarf has been here for the longest time. So many people have tried it on, wrapped it around their shoulders, necks, wore it like a scarf, blanket and everything else, BUT nobody actually bought it." I had to admit that what she said didn't sound pleasant to me at first- it sounded like I bought a left over that nobody wanted. However, I knew she didn't mean to sound it like that. I smiled back and thought: "This is a beautiful scarf. It was just waiting for the perfect person who could appreciate her and take her home!" Yeah, on the first day of Spring, I found the perfect winter scarf after a LONG hunt. :))

Do you have a similar experience that you find the cannot-be-more-perfect piece after a long search and it felt that all the wait was worth it?
